11. Elsa's Procession to the Minster - Wagner - Andy Norman
Price: £7.00
If you've tried the "Standard Arrangement" of this you'll realise what a hard blow it is. This new arrangement is in a lower key and much easier for players with limited range and stamina (that's most of us!!). A confident Soprano player is a bonus although the Soprano part stays in range if you have a Bb with a secure top register. A BIG finish to your programme.
12. Hallelujah Chorus - Andy Norman
Price: £7.00
Down a third from the original - this makes it much easier for most Bands to play but beware if you plan to join forces with your local Choral Society - although the Sopranos and Tenors may think they've suddenly improved !!!
13. Hillbilly Horns - Horn section feature - Andy Norman
Price: £7.00
Here's a little bit of Country and Western Style fun. Written as a horn trio but with back up from flugel and baritones so you can feature as many of the "middle section" as you want. Comfortable ranges and only one tricky bit of finger work. Will work well as a 10 piece. Drums are a bonus but will work without a drummer too. Horn parts and Mp3 here
14. March of The Toreadors from Carmen - Andy Norman
Price: £7.00
A new arrangement which makes a good encore for your Concert (get the audience clapping along at the end). Comfortable range even for the end of the evening. Should work for smaller Bands and percussion (although desirable) is not essential. Take a look at the score here . Click here for an Mp3
15. Mexican Wave - Traditional - Andy Norman
Price: £7.00
An easy feature for your cornet section or front row. Based on the "Mexican Hat Dance" over a bottom end "riff" this can really swing. Very easy to put together but requires a bit of style to pull it off sucessfully. 3 Solo cornet parts (Sop doubles 1st Solo) and no back row so you can feature the whole section if you want. Will work well as a 10 piece. Drums are a bonus but will work without a drummer too. Score and Mp3 here
16. Nessun Dorma - Pavarotti Tribute - Andy Norman
Price: £7.00
A new arrangement of this popular Aria which gives most of the Band at least a bit of the tune. Should work well with smaller Bands and doesn't push anyone too hard although the Solo Horn part is quite tricky. Optional Drum Kit part so that it can be played straight or "Pop-it-up".
17. Northallerton - Andy Norman
Price: £7.00
View Solo Cornet Part
18. Procession of the Nobles - Rimsky-Korsakov - Andy Norman
Price: £7.00
This is a new arrangement of this popular piece aimed at Lower Section Bands. It is still quite hard work for the Solo Cornets and the Solo Horn is kept busy too but should be manageable by most Bands.
19. Royal Osborne. - Andy Norman
Price: £7.00
Dedicated to the Cowes Concert Band who have their home in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, close too Osborne House, home of Queen Victoria. A traditional style march that isn't too hard work for your cornet players and shares the tunes around the Band. View Solo Cornet Part Listen here.
Price: £7.00
If you're on holiday on the Isle of Wight, vist Rylstone Gardens in Shanklin and if you're lucky you might even catch a Concert on the Bandstand.
